  1. Camcorder movies = fail. It sucks watching a movie with the added soundtrack of some ass eating popcorn and blocking part of the shot. Besides, it's worth it to see it on the big screen and worth it to buy the DVD if the movie is any good. actually some of those can be very good near dvd quality movies. the only problem being that they might get blocky when you watch them fullscreen. and not all are filmed with some guy holding a camcorder. i watched Pan's Labyrinth streaming a couple weeks after it came out and it was very good quality. the divx ones are the best quality if you can find 'em and somehow eachtime i've gone to the movies this summer at the 7 o'clock showing there have been freaking little kids everyhwere and it drives me insane!!!!!!!!! actually for pirates of the caribean it was teenage girls screaming every time depp was shown without a shirt. . . or when he just talked or movied or something. The theater at Crossroads mall played Pirates for adults only. Sure it was PG-13, but they didn't allow anyone under 18 to see it so adults could enjoy it without the BS. They even sold beer. I s**t you not. It was so frickin cool. So I didn't have to put up with the "giggly teenage girls," which was really nice.
  2. The only thing I can think of is that he doesn't like having Shore as his neighbor (who would?), and is engaging in frivilous lawsuits to financially push Shore into moving.
  3. Don't tempt me, man. @loll@ @loll@ Right now I want to edit his post just to be an ass. @loll@ @loll@
  4. Well OK 27 inch isn't that bad. It's a lot more watchable than a 17 inch TV is.
  5. No "new era" will happen. The movie will come, do OK, then go. Even if it's the best, it will get lost in the summer of tons of blockbusters in the minds of the average moviegoer in the long run. The fans will watch it for many years, but as Hasbro sees it, the fans don't exactly mean much.
  6. Damn man you need a new TV badly!
  7. He looks like gundams have infiltrated the autobots.
  8. Deservedly so. Brawl looks much better than expected.
  9. What they did ti the VAMP was just terrible I take it you don't mean the Mk II or Stinger? I say bring on a WHALE repaint, make it a dark navy grey. I mean this atrocity: http://www.yojoe.com/vehicles/04/vamp3/ The re-shaped rollbar and hood totally trash it, and if it's anything like the firebat, short-sighted Hasbro most likely ruined the molds permanently to make it.
  10. Who the hell voted for comic packs? We don't need any more funky-colored repaints mimicking the odd and often flawed coloring in the comics!
  11. By the power of greyskull!!!
  12. OK that right there tells me it's a BS lawsuit. He won't get any money either. Pauly Shore isn't even a b-list actor, and he's so far down there he fell off the alphabet.
  13. Camcorder movies = fail. It sucks watching a movie with the added soundtrack of some ass eating popcorn and blocking part of the shot. Besides, it's worth it to see it on the big screen and worth it to buy the DVD if the movie is any good. Because when it comes to good movies, the big screen is when they're best and you might as well enjoy it as many times as you can while you can.
  14. What they did ti the VAMP was just terrible, and other modified vehicles like the Rattler, snowcat, and polar battle bear were ruined by add-on gimmicks like new over-sized missles or that sound attack stuff. I would definitely prefer straight reissues or repaints. New vehicles based on the classics isn't a bad idea at all when done right, but right now there are some vehicles for which originals are too expensive and a reissue/repaint would be perfect, like the Whale and Tomahawk.
  15. It looks like a cartoon that would be marketed at very very young kids, so the stories will probably be brought down to suit that target audience.
  16. I really really really hope this is just a conceptual drawing and the next TF toon doesn't look like this. *if it's a respost, sorry. I didn't see it before.
  17. I'll see it once. It's an unusually busy summer with a lot more good movies than the average. After TF's I will see Potter and Rush Hour 3. So far this year I've been to the movies five times (for 300, Smokin Aces, Hot Fuzz, Pirates, and Ocean's 13), which is one more than the average for me for the whole year.
  18. I think it's half and half, with some looking better than the originals while others not so good. They would all be better if Hasbro didn't mess up heads by making them elongated and making odd proportions for some of the figures.
  19. I don't think it was logical at all because none of the characters really fit who they're supposed to be, and Bumblebee as a camaro is still a terrible idea. But it's apparent that promoting cars was more important than making sure thew cars actually worked for their characters. Knowing this movie is an infomercial does cheapen it for me a lot. I never liked movies that are blatantly filled with advertising, and this won't change that. Here we go. Let me guess...don't tell me you're still mad that BB is not a VW Bug, lol. And what is it about the cars selected that doesn't fit w/ who the characters are "supposed to be?" If you're going to say they don't fit, you should say why along w/ what you think they should be. Otherwise, it just looks like yet another cheap excuse to bash the movie IMO. I could care less that he's not a bug, but a Camaro doesn't work with him at all. The same goes for Jazz. He went from being a high-performance sports car to an econo-Pontiac that's only called a sports car because it only has two seats. The Camaro is more impressive, which isn't saying much. They don't fit because of their characters. That much is obvious and shouldn't need explaining. Another cheap way to bash the movie? Well excuse me, but it's better than swallowing them only putting the cars in because GM decided what cars to donate in order to use the movie as an infomercial. The selection of the cars was not based at all on what's best for the characters, but what's best for promoting GM. It's a sad day when someone gets criticized for thinking that what's best for the movie should come before what's best for self-promoting corporate sponsors.

I never liked movies that are blatantly filled with advertising, and this won't change that. Then what should 'bee have been? He can't be a vw... I think it makes a lot of sense for the movie to use real vehicles, and choosing one company would probably cut down on costs, so I would think everyone would win: hasbro saves money, gmc gets some nice publicity. I think that until we see the movie we can't really say if the vehicle modes fit the characters. I thought the mini-type car for Bumblebee/Cliffjumper in the classics like worked out very well, but they didn't try to explore their options. They cut a deal to promote GM cars, and GM chose the cars they wanted promoted, so they made the characters fit the cars they were given. They chose GM because GM cut their costs down to ZERO since GM donated the cars they wanted to see in the movie.
  21. I call shenannigans on MC. They re-use molds already paid for themselves, and not new figures. Doing armies is just an effort to cut costs lower than they already are so more of the $$ raised from their sale can go to pay for the convention and it's organizers, and I doubt it has anything to do at all with the costs of the boxed set. It makes sense for them to have female army builders because of the Baroness's role, and if you remember the old cartoon, she tended to have female cobra troops as her personal guard.

  23. After that look being on everything since JvC, I think the cartoony look is deliberate in order to try to make it appeal to kids. It looks like crap to me and makes the figures look cheaper, but apparently Hasbro likes it. They don't want realism. If that were the case, the figures would look too military and parents would say "eww I can't get that for my kids, you evil warmongers! Bush is Satan!!"
